genin impact 5.0 banners look stacked and with so many exciting new characters coming out along with the return of some powerful Main Stays it's very hard to decide who to spend your Primo gems on this time around today I a to help you decide who to spend your precious Primo gems on evaluating who will get you the most buy for your buck depending on your account setup my name is juice and let's get into it a quick note before we begin this video serves as a nice tldr of who you should consider for I'll be making individual videos on each character that's coming up to evaluate their individual pros and cons more in depth which will help you better decide whether you want them or not okay cool let's go we'll start with muani who will be the first new five star being introduced of not lon's Inception into the game muani is a hydro DPS who enjoys both vaporized teams and the more unique burn Vape teams she's a nuke based unit who excels specifically in single Target making her a fantastic choice for the more boss heavy spiral Abyss she has excellent mobility within her kit and appears have an excellent form of fast travel in the Overworld with their shark surfboard she's got very high potential already especially considering that muua isn't out yet so you can only imagine how powerful muani is yet to become this makes her a very stable pole as she is already a splendid DPS while also having the potential to vastly expand in the future not to mention how as of now she is a very varied pool of teammates that she can utilize from the ones that you'd expect like Nita jangi and Shang Ling to form more unconventional picks like shinan Dia and c0 to 5 Candace Dia will be a free available option during 5.0 thanks to the standard festar selector and both shenan and Candace are very unconventional for Star picks it's worth mentioning that moani's best budget option is a free-to-play craftable 2 making her an extremely accessible unit for freeo plays in newer players this means that regardless of how long you've been playing the game moani will manage to find Value on your account one way or another an excellent poll all around only bogged down by the fact that we already have such a supreme cast of staple Hydro characters powerful enough to make muani not feel necessary and plentiful enough to not require muani specifically for the Imaginarium theater so a great poll if you aren't already swimming in hydros I'm so sorry man and a pretty good poll if you are since her play style is still very individual to herself a fantastic and accessible unit that I can wholeheartedly recommend she's going into s tier when it comes to the valy charts for the specific version then for the rerun character that'll be debuting alongside moani's release kazua wind lad here despite not being an absolute necessity like he once was is still quite the Behemoth pole he offers many things such as damage bonus percent 4vv and the ability to hold really high value weapons which reduce team ER requirements such as fonus and zos as Moonlight he works in so many teams that it's unreal pretty much any non- Geo and non Bloom team can use him we all know how Kaza synergizes excellently with many old units but I should mention how powerful he is with current units that have a lot of strength nervet arino Lin and even for the more decent level characters such as cland kazua is a godsend his team options are extremely vast and there is an 80% chance roughly speaking that kazua works really well with your main DPS the existence of characters like finina who provide infinitely more damage bonus than kazua with way more consistency and Xian Yan who helps more specialized teams such as plunge deic or gaming teams do indeed negate him being a must pole as it entirely depends on your Mains I'm not going to tell somebody who Mains alhum Navia and shiao to pull for kazua over pulling for xianan who works well with both Navi and Shia as an arbitrary example it's undeniable that he's great to have around for Imaginarium theater however and he dropped from the number one character in the game to number three perhaps number two depending on who you ask and even if you disagree he still lands in your top five either way dude is quite the fossil units haven't come out way back in 1.6 and the fact that he's still such a competitive unit in The Meta to this day even in version 5.0 proves nothing more to me than the fact that his shelf life is insane how much longer do you have to wait until you're convinced that his shelf life is infinite he's amazing for free to plays has absolutely stood the test of time and he doesn't suddenly fall off the more characters that you start to own dare I say that he actually becomes better with the more characters that you collect because so many of them are going to be wanting kazua and the fact that the three strongest DPSS in the game as of now nervet arlino and Linny all want kazua should speak for itself amazing unit that obviously lands himself at the top ofes tier if you don't have kazua and are stuck between a muani versus kazua debate in your mind kazua kazua all the way he is a support who is omnipotent throughout many excellent teams in the game whereas muani is a DPS that one supports Taylor deer specifically both have high value don't get me wrong but kazua is simply too based for me to not wholeheartedly recommend kinich my beloved he is a burning and virin based dender DPS who specializes in high Mobility combat with extremely high boss killing potential he'll be a peak choice in the spiral Abyss most likely and he also proves to have a rather interested method of traversing the Overworld with his grappling hook also he has the coolest burst in the game and is the hottest of all the notl long characters for sure this is a character that I recommend to players who are older and have a more fleshed out roster this is because he's most likely going to be tied to Emily who is currently on banners acting as this Burning of Burgin unit's best partner in crime while I consider Emily to be a good character I don't recommend her to new players at all because of how n she is she feels in for a dendo archetype that Al requires quite heavy investment being burning teams burning is em based but you aren't playing burning for burning itself you need the reaction because the characters you want to burn of some sort of passive which makes their talent damage stronger making burning teams more CP based this makes burning inherently more resource demanding and while kenich is going to lean more into buron I imagine which does have dental cores involved his personal DPS is still going to end up being quite significant and we all know how much investment some DPS characters can suck up so both Kenn and Emily are very resource demanding his team also requires quite a few five-star units to function kenich yolan Shang Ling and Emily is just a random example but replace Shang Ling from wua in the future and that's all five star units one of which being a relatively Niche unit that's not a big deal for late game players but it kind of sucks for newer ones even if you were to go for a more flexible alternative like kinich Farina Xiang Ling and baiju not a whole lot of people are going to have baiju either I do believe that kich is going to be a genuinely powerful dentro DPS and he's going to be the third dedicated dentro DPS outed into the game upon his release so not only does he take advantage of a unique reaction but he himself is inherently a rare type of unit as dendo characters are almost always relegated to being support units he doesn't power creep Alam either because he covers the one team archetype that Alam does not allowing them to live in harmony I do still think ayam is a better pull for newer players even if kenich ends up being a lot stronger DPS wise simply because the guy can use a three star weapon extremely cheap teammates and then hit the ground running whereas you have a lot of ground workor to lay out with kenich compared to one of his competitors this patch muani who can literally use shinan it's hard to recommend them to folks with less fleshed out rosters especially if you don't have a kazua since he's also rerunning this patch but if you are an older player and you have a large cast of characters to pick from kenich is going to be one hella potent boss killer with lots of single Target potential amazing character with a lot of future potential once maua eventually gets added into the game though for newer players I'd recommend that you steer clear there are other units this patch F of much cheaper and more flexible teams in in my opinion and so for that reason he's going into a tier I could talk about how good Ryden is because she's a popular character or I could be honest so my main issue of Ryden is simple her DPS does not keep up with modern teams whatsoever even a C2 R1 Ryden is on par of a c0 R1 nervet and Ryden cons past C3 don't really improve her own damage she is pretty much perpetually locked below the standard of Modern DPS units no matter what way you look at it she does have good frontload but so do Navia and VAP Lenny C2 Ryden used to be on the level of a C6 but DPS standards have risen drastically since inauma era she is not really an impressive DPS anymore she's good don't get me wrong and her DPS in Chev ver overload teams is definitely still serviceable especially if your Chev is at C6 but Ryan's main deal isn't in dpsing So Much Anymore rather it's in utility you can build her on FM and runner on hyper blo teams you think that this is common knowledge but if you look in game most people are still opting for DPS build if you're at C zero hyper Bloom is going to be a better use of your Ryden otherwise you can use her as a driver for ER heavy teams like finina yolan double hydro which is a pretty strong team quarter run though those aren't really reasons to pull Ryden cookie shobu is replaced during hyper Bloom pretty comfortably dare I say that cookie was always better due to being a Healer as well and both kokam plus Hut can drive double Hydro cores arguably if the T varant doing the most DPS out of the whole bunch and with kokami you can either swap Jee for Kaza or for more damage bonus percent so ryen is isn't be all end all here either Ryden feels irrelevant once you've collected a lot of characters cland is a much better Electro DPS who can also plays an overload DPS for the record she's replaced in hyper Bloom by a fourar and better double Hydro drivers exist you really are only pulling for Ryden if you're a s there's nothing wrong with that I'm a huge fan of venti and ganu but Ryden is not anywhere near top five however she is really good for new players this is because she will work with basically anybody while doing quite well making you're extremely flexible plus it takes a long time to collect Enough Five Star characters to the point where Ryden becomes irrelevant making her a pretty long living option for free to plays I should mention that Ryden is a great free-to-play unit but Aid low spender unit a low spender can get one five star per patch easily as a low spender myself before I ever did any wailing for finina I got one five star per patch very easily with welin I didn't get Battle pass every time mostly just welcon I did win most of my 50/50s I will be honest but a low spender is getting way more five stars than are free to play over time so for that reason a longlasting low spender is not going to need Ryden as much I'd feel bad not mentioning that Ryden is extremely easy to play though a lot of newer characters barring nerval require proper execution to hit the ground running Vape Linny is extremely powerful but only if you can actually use it the reason why casuals often times feel like Ryden is so good is because she gets her job done extremely easily she's very accessible to people who may have difficulty of coordination and those sorts of problems too and those players matter as well so if we consider The Human Experience then Ryden suddenly becomes a lot more respectable overall with that being said in 2024 I have such a hard time recommending Ryden after she yes fell off this is fine it is natural venty fell off then came back during suu jongi fell off then came back during Fontaine and now Ryden fell off in Fontaine and will eventually come back in some way it is literally just the cycle of an Aron's Life to Live both their release patch and the next region it's not that hard to Fathom if you think about it also C2 to3 ridden is still solid but only if you already have it don't go out of your way for it anymore invest all that into current Fontaine DPSS instead B tier in the value rankings I don't have a high opinion of her it might be worth asking plenty of people what they think about Ryden so that you can compare and contrast positive opinions about her as well I'll briefly discuss kacina because she interests me she's a normal fourstar geost step DPS on the surface but my interest in her is more so because she can hold a night Soul damage percent buffing set so finally we have a competent fourstar Geo buffer for Navia this is great because chori has an inherent anti- Synergy of Navia being a sub DPS and not a buffer also want thing constructs while dealing with Navia construct lless teams Kachina saves you so many Primo gems since you want C1 R1 chiori to really feel her presence with Navia she's still best in slot for at c0 r0 or well was before kacina but that's more so because of her own damage being decent and Navia of her partner Geo options not providing enough to compete with chori sub DPS which is still gimped in Navia teams though Kachina gets to take full advantage of her potential in Navia teams while also buffing Nava's own damage and saving you having to pull a hole of her limited festar a copy of them and their weapon she also does some sub DPS of her own and a C6 Kachina is most likely going to be able to compete with a c0 r0 gor's output in Navia teams and considering she's free Navia Mains all gets to try her route at c0 and for those of you who understand the cost system which is mostly a complex speedrunning thing so casuals you can ignore this Navia can now run a good one cost team of Navia kacina beta and Shang Ling for those of you who are clueless about cost just know that this is also a really good cheap Navia team that you can play also making Navia one of the most accessible DPSS in the game two of the units are free and the other is an extremely contested fourar in general so freet to plays should be able to find easy access to it Kachina on the whole is going to be a very decent fourstar she'll mostly only be used of Navia but that's fine because she's a highly accessible four-star character even with that being said kacina isn't all that need because she can run as a fourth slot buffer on any team that isn't ruined by Geo application I'm sure that you can all imagine I'm delighted by all of this thank you hoiv verse we finally got our damn Navia buffer sure the buffing might not be within the kit itself but artifact set buffing does make a big difference in my opinion four piece instructors four piece no blast four piece tenacity of the Mt four piece veras and vener you get the idea if you're pulling for sheilon N I wouldn't invest too much into kacina since there's a large chance that the leopard will be replacing a role with that being said that that's assuming you're interested in sheilon in the first place and the fact that we get kacha for free and she's already a better teammate than c0 r0o chiori for Navia out of the box makes her a very respectable unit in my opinion if this is how good kacina is then how good will she alone n be for Navia I should also mention the banners take months at a time to come back years if you're an unlucky ducky so kacina being free and always permanently accessible is a big big win to her I'm definitely Pro kacina here a tier on the value rankings the thing is she's free anyway you'd only be pulling for constellations with that being said be careful with pulling fourstar cons if you don't want multiple copies of the festar banner character there is literally only good units to pulv this patch and even if some are a lot better than others in my opinion they all each have their place in the game and there is something for every different type of player here I myself I'm after kid the most out of this whole bunch and I'll definitely be building kach and she'll be a formidable Navia teammate hopefully this video is able to tell you who' get you the best buying for your Primo gem in version 5.0 this has been juice out and design wise kage clears literally everybody this patch
